Per GM there are small oval holes under the car in line with the front of the door jam and in front of the rear wheels. These oval holes are for lifting pucks. They can be ordered off of ebay for like $25. The oem ones are a lot more expensive but they are all the same. Order a set and place your lift points under those puck locations.
Great video, with good views most of the time. I think checking the owner's manual would tell you where the jacking points are located, right? After installing my two-post lift, my wife saw me under my car for the first time. Her response was so wife-like. She asked me if my life insurance policies were paid up.
@@RedlineStands Maybe I'm just lucky as my owner's manual shows me where the jack placement locations are located and what to do if I have a flat tire. Does that car have a jack stand somewhere in the car? Maybe Corvettes never get a flat tire?
No sir. I do plan to keep an eye on all my temps and bring it in if/when it gets too hot, which is likely. I'm not sure if this will be a one-time deal or not, so I'm not going all-out just yet.
General repair shops don't have time to work on cars like Corvettes. Even tire stores that take in everything that rolls, huge mistake. Not only the cars have to be finessed, just driving onto a drive-on alignment lift, it isn't made for these cars. Something might hit or break! Second problem is the asshole owners. Hey, if you can do a better job, then you need to work on your own car. Build you a shop in you garage and buy a lift and tools and do it yourself. Take it to the dealership. Let them eat their own pie. Truth is I haven't seen 3 Corvettes in 30 years! Even the old Stingray was a bitch to repair compared to other cars. Mechanics at most shops are hired guns. They don't make a dime more working on expensive richmans junk.

I looked all through the manual's index for things like "lift points" and "jack points" and found nothing. Finally went rogue.

Use frame pucks.
Are you planning/have you upgraded the cooling system on the C7Z for track duty?

@@RedlineStands What year? I know the later ones got a few tweaks that seemed to help.

LOL. Tell me how you really feel.
